Beyond The Realms Of Reality

Step through the incandescent light,
of a door that holds a magical place.
Blinded by a world drenched in color,
outlined with silk ribbons and lace.

Trees engulfed in apricot-emerald,
the sky painted in violet streaks,
a horizon torched in an orange glow,
like a sunset that goes on for weeks.

Rose petals ride on a tepid breeze,
bringing the scent of your childhood.
A past that was cut short of it's time,
one that you never quite understood.

A thick ribbon of river slices through,
it's gentle rhythm tranquil and steady.
A boat floats idle off to the far side,
waiting patiently, when you're ready.

Blades of grass turn to butterflies,
with just a slim touch from your hand.
Orange-blue fire doesn't bite or sting,
from candles burning in the sand.

Blossoms spill down like raindrops,
to melt and sparkle in your hair.
A lullaby is playing in the distance,
one that your mother use to share.

Eat the berries that have fallen,
and you'll never be allowed to leave,
but who would possibly want to,
when you can be blissful and naive?

So open your heart and step inside,
reveal your desires to this realm,
dance with the fairies, twirling around,
let the fantasy and illusion overwhelm.
